  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp ginger grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Equipment

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch in a bowl until evenly coated.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the sauce.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat with a little oil.
  2. Add the cornstarch-coated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  3. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and stir to coat, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Serving
  1. Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
  2. Serve immediately with rice or noodles.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken in a little soy sauce for 15 minutes before coating with cornstarch. Adjust honey to taste for desired sweetness. Serve with steamed broccoli or a side salad for a complete meal.
